Full Version: Wordpress Install - Cannot Connect To Database

Hello. I have transferred all the files necessary for a Wordpress blog. I went to the cpanel and then to the MySql tool and created a database and username. Then I assigned the privileges to the username. The last step was to edit the wp-config.php file and insert the database, username, and password.

When I connect via http to the site I get the error "Unable to establish database connection".

I left the server name as localhost.

Not sure what to do at this point. Any help is appreciated.
